Looking for someone to print a large photo on acrylic e.g. 120cm x 60cm. Most seem to have metal fixings in the picture but I want hidden mounting (nothing shown on picture). One website I can find that works is http://www.acrylic-glass-photo.co.uk but this is coming all the way from Germany? Surely there is someone UK based that I could use?

The company I used to work for can do them.

www.canvashut.com

May be listed on the website. Not sure, I know the normal ones with the stand off posts are. They can defo do both though as we often did.

Used to offer a discount to PH members too so worth mentioning if you are interested, although that was probably because of me.

The Print Foundry

I've had a couple of their aluminium prints made at the sizes you're after and very happy with them. Their acrylic would appear to be very similar, aside from the principal material.

Dammit, sorry. Yes, that is a frustration although the registration process is straightforward enough. I *think* they offer tiered pricing depending on a customer's buying power, so no fixed price list to publish. My order throughput is negligible so I assume I'm on the lowest level of discount.

120x60 is not an option but 112x56 shows as £160, excl vat. Next size would be 127x61 which is slightly out on aspect ratio.

Or

Against competitors on comparable sizes (76x51 (or 30"x20" in old money))
Print Foundry £114 + VAT
CanvasHut £125 VAT status not shown
DSCL £99 incl VAT

When ordering for customers I've been impressed with Print Foundry on print/ product quality & customer service. OTOH I've never been dissatisfied with DSCL for "everyday" prints, and that's a big price difference...

Not in the UK, but very good - how does Whitewall's pricing compare?
